About the Position
As a Staff Software Engineer at Vetcove, you’ll take ownership of major product areas—designing, building, and improving the tools that help veterinary clinics streamline operations, deliver exceptional patient care, and optimize their supply chains. The systems you create will manage billions of dollars in transactions and empower clinics to focus on their patients, not their logistics.
This isn’t just another engineering job—it’s a chance to tackle meaningful challenges and make a real-world impact. You’ll be involved in everything: deciding what to build, designing how it works, and ensuring it gets into the hands of users seamlessly.
